Wyndham Grand, the upper-upscale brand of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, the world’s largest hotel company with more than 9,000 hotels in over 80 countries and territories, is slated to debut in six new destinations around the world in 2019: Cam Ranh in Vietnam, California in the US, Mexico City in Mexico, Kayseri in Turkey, Tblisi in Georgia, and Crete in Greece.

Two of the new hotels - in Cam Ranh and Mexico City - will be managed by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts’ growing management company, adding to the more than 400 hotels operated by the company globally and expanding its upscale managed capabilities into new countries.

Wyndham Grand is an ensemble of distinctive hotels that are approachable by design, representing one-of-a-kind experiences with sophisticated elegance. The new hotels will join the brand’s 39 existing awe-inspiring locations in Istanbul, Chicago, Shanghai, and Manama, Bahrain, where the first Wyndham Grand, also managed by Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, opened in 2017.

“Travelers are seeking out new destinations and crossing borders more than ever before,” said Mr. Bob Loewen, Chief Operating Officer for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “In the last two decades alone the number of international travelers around the world has more than doubled to nearly 1.3 billion.”

Wyndham Grand Cam Ranh is situated within a 27-hole golf course overlooking the nearby ocean and designed by renowned Australian golfer Greg Norman. The hotel offers luxurious accommodation options as well as multiple restaurants and bars, swimming pools, spa and wellness facilities, and a convention center. Cam Ranh, with pristine beaches and deep waters, is a growing tourism destination thanks to the recent expansion of Cam Ranh International Airport and increasing numbers of international flights.

Vietnam is an increasingly popular destination for international travelers. Named one of Travel + Leisure’s 50 Best Places to Travel in 2019, it welcomed more than 14 million visitors in 2018 - a staggering 21 per cent increase over 2017.
